| Description: |
This book is founded on the truth that we are all Godbearers to one another, and therefore youth ministry is more about people than programs. The book is conversationally written, grounded in scripture, and grows out of all three authors' own pastoral experience. This updated edition addresses the profound shifts in society and ministry over the past twenty-five years—from the interconnection of technology to the professionalization of youth ministry. It reimagines the means of Godbearing youth ministry in a post-pandemic digital age in the twenty-first century while holding on to the fact that young people are continuously transformed by the message. Youth ministry is ministry that invites young people into deep soul work and spiritual friendships. The basic message is this: young people need adults who practice faith alongside them. Chapters: Part 1: Redefining Youth Leadership. From programs to people; From gung-ho to Godbearer; Heeding while herding. Part 2: Soul Tending on Holy Ground. Tending the fire - finding holy grounds for youth ministry; Sharing the mantle - a community of co-laborers. Part 3: Ingredients of the Godbearing Life. A rhythm of life - practices that shape the soul; A circle of friends - inviting spiritual friendship. Part 4: Godbearing Practices for Youth Ministry. Handholding and finger-pointing - practices of Communion; Youth who could care more (or less) - practices of compassion; Breaking water - practices of teaching and nurture; Stick-holding - practices of witness; Sacred space making - practices of dehabituation; From awful to awe-full - practices of worship. Includes discussion questions. |
